A Magic Pick was a further three lengths away third.

Slick Sniper covered the 1600 metres in track record time of 1:34:5 to take out the $12,000 cup just minutes after his brother Snipers Bullet earned a cool $25,000 by running fifth in the $1,000,000 Group 1 Emirates Stakes at Flemington over the same distance.

With the local racing over, the crowd gathered for the popular Queensland Cotton Fashion parade and the announcement of the winners of the Macquarie Cotton Growers Fashions on the Field competition.

Little Black Dress, Classic Glamour, Just Beautiful and Myer fashion labels were presented at their best by the glamorous models, who were cheered on by an appreciative crowd. Cathy Beach’s Beads of Paradise accessorised the beautiful outfits.

The judges had to choose from a glut of high fashion in the four Fashions on the Field categories, with $500 in prizes handed out.

Winners were Peter Brooks, Kaitlyn Warner, Steph Gibson and Sophie Davies.

Sponsors included Weigela Design, Style Magazine, Andersons Pharmacy, Nangar Gems and Fiona Schofield Millinery.

Two pink-haired girls also made a Deal or No Deal appearance with the audience also giving the men’s fashions the thumbs up.

The festivities continued at 6pm with the girls scurrying to change into more comfortable footwear to dance to the Poly Pipes, although there were a few early sunburn and overindulgence casualties.

Police were out in force over the weekend with Darling River Local Area Command Detective Inspector Franz Maranesi saying from a policing perspective, it was a “great day” with a generally well-behaved crowd.

“There were some minor problems with intoxication and these incidents will be followed up by local police,” he said. “Overall we were satisfied with the race meeting.”

Detective inspector Maranesi said there was one high range PCA on Friday evening in the lead-up to the event and two drivers were booked for mid range PCA on Sunday morning.

He said there were also numerous traffic breaches over the weekend in and around the Warren area and numerous move on directions by police on the streets with a vigilant watch throughout and after the race meet.

Warren Jockey Club secretary

and treasurer Michele Martin said the police “did a great job and provided fantastic support” and security was good.

“I’m really happy with the day, the fashion parade was a highlight and the band was also very good.

“Thank you to sponsors and everyone that helped out in any way on the day, with particular thanks to Emma Rice and the Warren Central School hospitality students.”
